Second Qualifying Paper (QP2)

Doctoral students must submit a Second Qualifying Paper (QP2) during their final semester of coursework. The QP2 must be of publishable quality in an appropriate journal in the student's concentration. If the paper is not of passing quality, the student will be given one more opportunity to submit a satisfactory paper. The second attempt will be due during the next semester. If the second submission is not satisfactory, the student will not be permitted to continue in the Ph.D. program.
